Vyopta is uniquely positioned to help large enterprises manage and support this growth,” said Chris Pacitti, managing member of AVX Partners as well as general partner at Austin Ventures. “We’ve increased our investment by $1 million to support Vyopta’s efforts to capitalize on this opportunity.”

They are already strengthening our culture and helping us grow.”
Chad Savoy joins Vyopta as the VP of Sales with a wealth of experience developing and scaling high-performance sales teams ranging from startups to publicly traded firms. Most recently, Chad was the VP of sales at Datadog, the leading SaaS-based monitoring platform for cloud applications, where he helped triple revenue in the last year. Earlier in his career, he was the VP of North American Sales at Solarwinds where he helped increase revenue more than 500%.
“I am thrilled to join the Vyopta team and build on the foundation they’ve already established,” said Savoy. “I look forward to helping accelerate growth and supporting the goal of building a great company.”
Bret Hern joins the executive team after being recently promoted to VP of Customer Success. In addition to establishing the foundation of Vyopta’s customer success function, Bret brings decades of experience serving large enterprises at Accenture, Computer Sciences Corporation, and Trilogy.
